Here’s one of those cases where moral authority really comes in handy:

President Bush told Lebanon’s leader on Friday that he would urge
Israel to limit civilian casualties as it steps up attacks on its neighbor, a promise that fell short of Beirut’s calls for a cease-fire.

“President Bush affirmed his readiness to put pressure on Israel to limit the damage to Lebanon as a result of the current military action, and to spare civilians and innocent people from harm,” said a statement from Lebanese Prime Minister Fuad Saniora’s office

Too bad he doesn’t have any.
